Heights historical photo of the month

Summer fun in Cleveland Heights is by no means a new phenomenon. In this photograph from the 1950s, several Cleveland Heights High School students pose during a picnic at Cumberland Pool, which has been a summertime destination for the city's youth since it first opened in 1927.

This photo was selected by the Cleveland Heights Historical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the diverse character and traditions of Cleveland Heights.
